Why eat one cake when you can have 3

Guilt free indulging ..

Me loves raw

Raw !

No trip to copenhagen would have been complete without visiting 42raw ! It is the new craze in town , also very popular in new york and paris . The restaurant offers in an ascetic room a whole menu of ..namely raw food , nothing is cooked or heated over 42 degree hence the name ; but everything is absolutely delicious ! We tried 3 different salads , all the desert and yes they have the best raw chocolate cake in town ! The juice are super healthy and the whole raw movement claim that you can eat as much as you want without feeling guilty ...we did enjoy ourselves ..

tomorrow copenhagen..

first i want to say how gratefull i am to everyone who came to our little shop on saturday ! it was lovely seeing so many new faces and the good old ones :) and oh did we love love seeing the cupcakes fly off the shop ! i have to apologised for the ones who came in early and did not get their cupcakes at once , thats one of the downside of freshness , they were baked in the morning and kim had to wait until they cooled down to start on the toppings ... but we promise , next friday at ten they will be ready as soon as the door opens .. lovely friday !
also we are currently working on : taaatataaa : macaron !
and tomorrow morning we are travelling for several meetings to copenhagen were i will post about all the places we go and eat :)

those cupcakes by kim bjerkmo taste as wonderfull as they look , i am thinking about them every day and can´t wait until next friday to have another bite ..

it is so far a crazy week as all the small details are yet to fall into place , we are still waiting for the cutest box to come , we have ordered some individual boxes in white and lilac and blue from england , the dream cards witch come with each boxes have been created by my dear friend maiken sissimuk.bloggspot.com.. i wish you will want to collect those cards as i have been dreaming about them and maiken made them a reality !

we are also waiting for all the furnitures witch will make the cosy corner were to enjoy those cupcakes but i can´t wait to share it with you ... bientot vendredi !

let´s be sweet ! let´s be crazy !

ok let me start by the beginning of this new project of ours , the ones who knows me well know how food is occupying a large part of my life : eating it :) making it , reading about it , and talking about it . i have always loved unpretentious cooking and that has always been the best way for me to relax ....apart from when i get down and start to bake !
then it is a bit like i am possessed ! , i need to make more cakes , more cookies , more cream more of everything sweet like we are going to miss soon of sugar or flour ......
a group of dear friends was invited some years ago to my place for tea and cookies , i ended up waking up at four in the night and baking for six hours straight and the table covered up with over fifteen different cupcakes and cookies , we got hight on sugar and we were six girls around the table !
I have many stories similar to this ones , one is that a couple of time a year i used to bake just for the pleasure of filling my house with the smell of sugar and butter and bring all the result of my baking to my shop and let my customers and friends have a bite .

then in august this year i witnessed at my best friend wedding something witch amazed me , a cook called kim managed to fead on his own the wedding party witch counted over 100 people ! and the food was very good ! i can only imagine the rush it must have been !
one things leading to another kim happen to be the boyfriend of christina working at shine and one day he delivers a batch of the most lovely decorated and delicious cupcakes ever and our big dream is born !
LET´S HAVE CUPCAKES AT SHINE ! FROSTING , BUTTER , SUGAR HERE WE COME !

Donna Wilson

since a week we are cuddling a bit with the wonderfull creation of donna wilson , it is rather selfish of us because we hide them so far in the back of the shop and wont reveal them to the public before the end of this week but we are just adding more love to those lovely pillows and plaids ... donna wilson herself is nothing but the sweetest girl i ever met , despite the fact that in the design world she is called a " all round textile legend " she keep her down to hearth simplicity ,and welcomed us as old good friend on her stand at maison et objet in paris .

when my friend and photographer Aniken zhal furunes popped out the question : Are you the ONE donna wilson to her , she was all giggles and smile and blushed and wispered ..yes ...

so let me tell you how warmly i recommand her sweet wool handmade in england pillows and plaids , plate and scarfs and let me share with you the joy of vibrant colors !

Donna Wilson queen of knitting

oh ah ! we are back to our serene childwood with Donna Wilson´s design , there is so much cosyness in her pieces and those colors and those cute drawings ... i am only posting a few photos and i will tell you a lot more about her tomorrow ..

Sonia Rykiel House

hello and welcome to the bigg update on what is happening at shine this week ..

so we have decided that with such a big follower group of Sonia Rykiel collection we should also introduce her home design and make everyone sleep and bath in her stylish stripe !

do you know that Sonia Rykiel is the only designer who send her models down the catwalk with a smile ! it is perfectly fitting for our little shop to share the joy :)

lets go SONIA !

a satisfied shopper

i was rather happy after placing my order at maison et objet fair in Paris ..

sleep happy !

when the decision to have Orla Kiely again was made then we thought lets do it all !

so here are also the bed linen ... gorgious ones coming stored in the biggest hard box ever !

Orla Kiely mugs

lovely Orla Kiely mugs in so many prints , to have a bright morning , a happy colorfull one , to celebrate the beginning of a new day ... at home or at the office .. and affordable they are too : 140 kr !

Orla Kiely all over the place !

of course i have to give an explanation on why we had a break in our love affair with Orla Kiely , some years ago when our sales of her design were at the top i suddently had the feeling that it was more honest to our customer who bought her bags and clothes and felt unique for us to stop selling so they will keep the feeling of carrying something unique , that was when the prints were not renewing as often as now ... now is another era were each season Orla is re-doing the best seller but also having new and fresh prints .

so we are happy to present a wide range of her prints on different support and for different budget ...

so many news !

so alright i am not the fastest to update with news but here they come and some more ...
this week will see the return of designer Orla kiely at shine ..after a break of over 3 years i have decided that it is finally time again for the fantastic print of misses Orla kiely .
some years ago we had a great succes with her bags and her raincoat , they are joyfull and make us smile , they are strong and water resistant , witch is a plus in this country :) they are timeless ( who cares about being a bit crazy some times ) in bref we are very happy to be have her design back in store for this coming spring !
